OP18. The Eros of my ways

A friend emailed this one and asked that I post it before Feb. 14 had expired.  He realizes the meter isn't 'pure' but wanted it left "as is" (including the indentation of lines 3&4.)

The frustrating thing about Valentine's Day
Is that its light-hearted, innocent way
    Fosters friendship platonic,
    While sex laws draconic
Force us to hold our true feelings at bay.
